“I wouldn’t

-Francis
Made In Chelsea’s hot boys Jamie Laing, Oliver
Proudlock and Francis Boulle chat to Jo Usmar
“Take your shoes off,
Boulle!” Jamie Laing
shouts at his fellow Made
In Chelsea cast member
and ex-housemate Francis
Boulle as soon as he walks
in the door. Our shoot is
taking place in a very posh
house in south London and
it’s clear that Jamie, 22,
Francis, 24, and fellow
MIC-er Oliver Proudlock,
24, feel right at home.
We’ve even cracked open
the festive booze. Francis
tastes it, then announces,
“It’s no match for my
grandmother’s sherry.”
Get you, Granny Boulle.
Made In Chelsea is now
on its fourth series, and
from day one we’ve been
obsessed with the posh
folks of SW1 – especially
Jamie’s love life, Francis’
skateboarding businessguru weirdness and
Proudlock’s George
Michael-style earring.
And the chaps aren’t just
pals onscreen – they lived
together during filming
and duly anointed
themselves and their
fledgling band “The Three
Lost Boys”. Or “bois”, as

Jamie and Proudlock’s
matching tattoos state.
Since arriving at our shoot,
they haven’t stopped
shouting, “Yeah, boi!” and
answering their phones,
which never stop ringing.
Eventually, we manage to
sit them down. We’ve got
a lot to ask, starting with
the fact that Jamie’s been
a bit of a love rat…
Jamie, how could you
squash Binky’s heart ?
[He cooled things off
after just one date.]
Jamie: Argh! I know. It was
a bad situation. I was
panicking, feeling trapped.
Oh come on, after
a single date?
J: But it wasn’t just one
date. They can’t show
everything that happens
on camera. It was actually
over a longer period of
time. And I kissed her when
we were all pretty drunk
and then things changed
that night.
Proudlock: What,
in your sleep?
J: Yeah, I sleep-walked
and found myself
going, “Nooo!”

P: You hit the
pillow and woke up
screaming, “Nooo!”
[Both laugh.]
But you told her you could
fall in love with her and
then back-tracked!
J: Yeah, it was bad. I got
caught up in the moment.
I love Binky, I think she’s
amazing and it’s just wrong
timing for us. Binky was
the person I thought that
it would work with and
it didn’t. We had great
chemistry. I thought our
friendship meant that
I really wanted to be with
her. We tried hooking up,
but it was awkward.
We were all on your side
last series with the whole
Spencer/Louise thing and
now you’ve let us down…
Francis: Hey, I’m still
on his side.
J: You can’t always stay
squeaky clean, and the
great thing about the
show is you see every side
of everyone. And I think
I’m far from a nasty boy.
You were a bit of an arse…
J: Of course! I even
tweeted after the show,
“Jesus, I look like a dick
in this episode,” because
I was a dick. But it’s
hard, because you’ll do
something and think it’s
fine and then watch it back
and go, “OK, that’s bad.”
A few people in the cast
think too much about
cameras and what they’re
doing, whereas we just
do what we do…
F: It’s good because
it’s more real.
J: If someone makes us
laugh, we laugh, and if
someone’s p***ed us off
we’ll say they have, rather
than worrying if people
will hate us. So, in that
moment, I did what
I thought was right.
And I feel terrible about it.
Are you friends again?
J: I hope we’ll make up.
“I think
I’m far
from
nasty!”

Do you all watch the
show together?
J: It’s epic – the whole cast
and crew watch it together
every week.
P: It can be very awkward.
F: Sometimes you’ll know
something’s coming and
you’ll tip them off, “Oh,
that thing I’m about to
say, I didn’t mean it.”
J: Or you’ll go, “Just
off to the loo!”
P: You forget what
happened because
you filmed it six weeks
ago. I find it cringe,
watching myself.
Has it ever kicked off?

who he was less
than honourable to,
and MIC castmate
Cheska Hull
talking about me onscreen,
I turn around, wave and
say, “Thank you!”
Do negative reactions
from the public ever
bother you?
J: Of course they do.
P: No matter what anyone
says, if you’re getting
abuse it’ll bother you.
J: Shall I see if I’ve got any
abusive tweets in the last
two minutes? [Checks
phone.] Here’s one.
“Jamie, my friends went
to Mahiki and thought you
were a top-class w***er.
I would disagree and say
you were just a w***er.”
[All roar with laughter.]
Did you guys like living
together?
P: It was epic.
Would you do
it again?
J: We were actually
checking out some
houses today. There
was an amazing one
in Knightsbridge,
behind Harrods.
P: Good for a spot
of shopping.
J: I’ve been shopping
today, boi!
[Proudlock and
Jamie high-five.]
When you lived together,
who took out the bins?
F: I always had to take
them out for the cleaner.
[To Jamie] But you never
took the rubbish out.
J: [Shrugs.]

P: Every time the cleaner
came, the house was
always a mess. Monday:
clean; Tuesday: OK;
Wednesday: not great;
Thursday: eurgh…
J: Sunday: argh! We’d book
ourselves into a hotel.
Did you have a rule about
girls staying over?
J: Yes. The rule was if you
had a girl over, she’d have
to come join us in the
kitchen in the morning.
F: Just to say hello.
J: One morning, Proudlock
had a friend who wouldn’t
come down.
P: Yeah, everyone was
shouting, “Come down!”
And I was, like, “Guys,
be nice!”
F: She climbed out
of the bathroom window
on to the scaffolding
at the back.
Are you joking?
F: No. I nearly died so
many times trying to
climb up the scaffolding.
P: We lived together for
three months and had
one key between us.
F: We were always too
busy to get another one
made. We’d be, like, “Sorry,
I left it at the pub,” and then
have get up the scaffolding
to an open window.
Francis and Proudlock,
you had some beef
with each other about
Sophia Sassoon, right?
[Proudlock slept with
Sophia, despite Francis
fancying her, too]
P: We did have beef. Just
a lack of communication.
F: No, a lack of
realisation on my part.
P: True… I love you, man.
Speaking of fights, what
happened to your nose,
Jamie? It looked like
you’d been punched
in a recent episode…
J: I got punched
outside a club.
That’s horrible, sorry…
J: No, don’t be sorry.
“I never
cry. Even
when I
stub my
toe”
Francis
It was fine at the time.
P: The night that
happened, he came
lurching into my room
and passed out on my bed.
I woke up in the morning
and there was crusty blood
all over my duvet.
Would you rather...
Stand naked in
Selfridges’ window
for three hours or
streak across the
X Factor stage on
a Saturday night?
J: Streak on
The X Factor.
P: Yeah. Three hours in
Selfridges’ window
would be horrible.
J: If you’re going
to get naked, get
naked and make
a big impact.
I streaked in
front of
44,000
people at a rugby
match in Leeds.
They chucked me
out. I had to knock
on a stranger’s door
and ask to borrow
some clothes.
Shave your head
or wax your legs?
P: Shave my head.
I’ve done it before,
so it’s no big
deal.
F: Probably wax
my legs.
J: I’d rather
go for

F: He had another fight
outside my bedroom door,
which I had to break up.
J: It’s because I’m small.
I’m an easy target.
F: It’s because
you’re mouthy.
J: I am a bit. But Francis
broke up the fight, naked.
F: I didn’t want to see any
violence outside my room.
Who was the fight with?
J: Caggie’s brother.
F: Freddie Dunlop.
Who won?
F: I did.
J: You did get punched,
didn’t you?
F: Yes, you punched me.
J: I thought you were
Dunlop. I got confused.
Is there anything you
wouldn’t do on screen?
F: Have sex in a shower.
That brings us to our next
question. What on earth
was Spencer’s shower
scene all about?
[Spencer got all steamy
with Louise Thompson
in the opening episode
of this series.]
All three: Oh God!
J: We all love Spenny,
but I don’t mind saying that
I watched that back and
thought it was ridiculous.
F: Spencer claims they
actually had sex in the
shower. For seven seconds.
J: I heard they wore
see-through underwear?
F: Well, he said they
actually had sex. But
he says a lot of things...
Did you watch Hugo
on I’m A Celebrity…?
P: Yes, bless him. It was
awful. He cried twice.
Everyone’s going to think
Chelsea boys are wusses.
F: I never cry. Even when
I stub my toe.
P: That’s the sign
of a true man.

He is such a schweff! Why
